In a heartbreaking incident reported from Kerala, an 8-year-old girl tragically died as a mobile phone exploded in her face while she was using it to play a game. The incident was reported from Pattiparambu and the deceased minor girl was identified as Adithyasree, a class 3 student from Christ New Life School in Thiruvilwamala.

As per the details shared by the police, Adithyasree was engrossed in watching a video on her mobile phone late at night, when the device suddenly exploded. The blast was so severe that the child suffered severe injuries on her face, her right hand fingers got severed, and her palm was found broken.

It was reported that the child was the only one present at home at the time of the incident, with her grandmother in the kitchen preparing food.
